![]() 8.5 is working fine for anything I need - just be sure to install 8.5.18. I went down that rabbit hole for a little bit but pretty quickly figured I would get stuck if I went any further, and backed on out. ![]() I have not found a good fix yet although there are hints that someone has. As you can see, there is a solution but it involves downloading the source files and using gcc to compile Python with the correct code to direct it to 8.6 in your User Library rather than 8.5 in the System Library. For Python to know to use 8.6 (and let the OS still use 8.5) you need to specify that when you compile Python - so if you downloaded an already-compiled version of Python, it is fixed and you can't change it. It appears that 8.5 installs in the System library and is needed by the OS while 8.6 installs in your User Library and if you try to call/use/load the 8.6 with Python (any version - not just ActivePython) you will get the 8.5. If you search the forums, you will find a number of threads about Mac OSX and 8.6. In reply to ActiveTcl 8.6 not being detected by ActivePython 3.6: This is, alas, confusing by the date of July 2017!įinal thing: this way of ActiveState forum of not publishing user's posts seeking for help (only one third of mine got published in these days) and replying by adding another subject to every post instead of keeping the one originally chosen by who posted, is (I guess you get it by now) really confusing. I can just read a generic/useless "ActivePython requires Windows XP, or later". That is: community-stuff from ActiveState does not support WinXP SP3 32bit anymore (and this is more than understandable, afaic). As far as I'm concerned I would like to get also 2.7 "regular", for instance (but this doesn't really matter here).Ĭoncerning WinXP SP3 32bit, why not making what you wrote, clearly explicit in your docs? So, if it's internal stuff why not keeping it internal so to avoid confusing community-stuff users like me?Īlso: why providing 2.7 FirstClass and 3.6 "regular" without any clear indication here that this is the situation? This is confusing as well. In reply to "Regular" ActiveState Pyhton 2 and ActiveState Python 3 for WinXP SP3 32bit and Win7 SP1 64bit:Ĭoncerning "FirstClass" it was i-shenl who mentioned that to me. here :ġ) Where can I get the latest "regular" ActiveState Pyhton 2 for 32bit and for 64bit Windows?Ģ) Where can I get the latest "regular" ActiveState Python 3 for 32bit and for 64bit Windows? Up to now I thought they were. Since, apparently, the "regular" ActiveState Python 2. I had no idea there were different ActiveState Pyhton typologies. So I just went as usual here and thought that as usual I just needed to download the latest ActiveState Python 2 and latest ActiveState Python 3. It's been a while now since the last time I updated ActiveState Python on one of my Windows OSs (mainly WinXP 32bit and Win7 64bit).
